While he is a decent lecturer, the course is, IMO, poorly designed. 3 hour classes are ended much earlier for "group work" that is intended to give students time to work on the term project. While this is fine, outlines are poorly written and objectives become quite subjective/murky. Jim forgets things he didn't cover in lectures and (claiming he has) puts them in the exams as long-answer questions. For a "world-class" business prof, he rarely answers emails. Maybe it's the Harvard mentality

Jim's a good guy but is really confusing on what he wants in terms of studying. There was stuff on the midterm he absolutely didnt cover so get ready to marry the textbook. ERG theory was on the test. Don't get nervous over presenting the marks are based on effort. Get ready and prepare to answer questions in class and study like crazy. was electiv

Jim's a hilarious prof and quite easy going. If you take this course remember attendance and participation matter and are an easy mark towards your final. Group project accounts for 25 % with heavy emphasis on solving a case and finding a solution, make sure you have detailed responses for a solid mark. The midterm and final is based of the notes.

Favourite teacher by far! Seems scary at first, but you soon realize that he's actually really nice! Participation matters, but he gives many opportunities to earn marks. One midterm and final. One group project that lasts the entire semester, but it's very straightforward and he helps you through it. Highly recommend Jim, he's a funny guy!

I took his class based on his other rates under the name "Jamshid" and he isn't that easy. He's nice and funny but his tests are just so hard, they're so hard that he made our class's final only 55 m/c questions bc the first exam out of 100 was so hard and the class average was way too low people scored 32/100 on the first one. He's nice but hard

Tough grader to be honest. At one point, after the midterm results were given, he named 5 students (by student number) during class recommending to drop his course as he claims that they will fail with the score they've got on the first midterm. Also very strict. Group project is easy surprisingly.

Doesn't care about the students and then marks very hard so you get a really low mark and then won't help you boost your mark somehow

Jim is a strict professor in my point of view. Gives projects work continosly and participation matters. He does not agree easily with short answers. Always use to say that explain me further and give me example. Overall he is good but teach much from textbooks!!! U will like him unless u are shy!!

Jim's a great guy and a good teacher. The class is pretty interesting. The best thing you can do is make sure you read ahead in the book and take good notes in class. The group project could be a lot of work if you have a bad group, but its not hard work. Jim comes on strict in the first lecture, but by week 3 you'll love him.

He's not a tough grader, but his exams are hard. I am an A student and I could only get a B in his class even after getting 83% on the group project and 95% on the presentation. Class average was 68% on the midterm. The multiple choice are tricky. Have to read the book. Essay questions are simple and will be from the topics taught in lectures.

I don't want to sound mean, but he is such a lazy teacher. His classes are short and he leaves early. He spends very little time teaching you anything. There is only one assignment and it is a group assignment so you if you don't get a good group you are in trouble. I learned very little from him.

Jim is a nice guy, but his classes are not that good. He follows book concepts and doesn't bring new ideas. His group project is tough, he doesn't explain much about it and in the end is a tough grader. Midterm has things from the book that he doesn't explain in class. You must answer questions in class to get participation grade.
